Ben Reynolds

Since coming to LSA, Ben Reynolds, CFO, has reinvigorated the Accounting Team. His leadership has resulted in increased daily cash balance 5000% through increased collections efforts, improved project accounting, support from the PPP funds, and reconciliation of outstanding accounts. Ben has also grown and streamlined the Accounting team at LSA by hiring a new Controller, Billing Manager, multiple Billers, and an AR Specialist. These efforts have led to the strongest cash position in LSA’s 40+ year history.

Ben enjoys working with organizations that want to align culture, infrastructure, and finance for sustainable success. As a finance operation executive focused in the AEC industry, Ben has extensive experience in the construction, real estate, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. When not in the office, he coaches rugby at UC Irvine and spends time raising money for his non-profit partner, Rugby Exchange, that is focused on getting children in underserved communities active and providing opportunities for young people to see the world through sport.

Ben has also made a significant effort to connect with the staff throughout the organization leading lunch time Brown Bags, where he and other teammates review reporting, processes and discuss best practices. Ben was one of three project management training facilitators for the companywide training course: “Find the Lost Dollars” where he provided detailed guidance around best management practices. Ben has also led the organization through the first accounting audit in company history, including the implementation of internal GAAP compliance. His and the accounting team’s efforts have resulted in a stock value increase of more than 20% this past fiscal year.
